The challenge
Credit Union Australia - CUA Health has been a health insurer for over 40 years, and was named the top-rated health insurance provider in 2019 by Australian consumers on Product Review. Despite this success, CUA Health faced two main challenges for the future.
- Firstly, the federal government's health reforms were swiftly approaching and required the business to significantly change the state of the product suite, as well as be prepared to offer new discounts, hospital categories and clear information to users at a critical, confusing time.
- Secondly, the existing digital quoting and purchase journey was inadequate to meet these needs and wasn’t performing optimally with existing traffic. A drastic change was required that would serve both business and user experience purposes.
CUA had several key deliverables to meet:
- Purchase via mobile with ease without compromising accessibility
- Product filtering based on new Government health tiers
- Exact price quotes based on user specifications and lifetime health cover loading, with options available
- Instant new memberships via integration with their Health system
- Key validations ensuring clean data submissions reducing internal operational effort
- Seamless, professional and trustworthy experience improving overall sales conversion rate
The solution
CUA Health commenced a project with Squiz to redesign the user experience and functionality of their health insurance application form and product picker. Their existing partnership with Squiz provided confidence the project requirements could be met with Squiz Matrix CMS.
Their previous application process used a combination of online, phone and paper - providing a clunky, disjointed user experience for the applicant and cumbersome, slow processing times for CUA Health.
Squiz led the design and UX phases to ensure the new form was intuitive and easy to use, with the aim of increasing form completion rates.
A new, slick mobile-friendly design made the form feel like a seamless extension of the CUA Health website by incorporating the brand's look and feel.
